Eternal Paragon Of Slaughter Chapter 34: Political Tides

Five months had passed in the Wang Clan.

During these five months, many things had happened—starting with the explosive news of the engagent between Wang Ming and Wang i. With both of them being top talents of the clan—one the sole daughter of the Seventh Elder, and the other a promising young genius,the engagent shook the entire inner circle of the clan.

Two months after the initial announcent, the engagent ceremony was officially held. All elders of the clan attended, regardless of which faction they belonged to. Their presence demonstrated a show of unity amidst the undercurrents of conflict—a public statent that, despite inner power struggles, the Wang Clan stood united before outsiders.

Although the Clan Leader did not attend the ceremony in person, he still sent gifts to both Wang Ming and Wang i. Despite his known disagreents with Wang Ming, he still showcased a front that everything within the clan was harmonious. This engagent alone brought massive shifts in the political landscape of the clan.

Before, the Clan Leader had montum. But with this so-called betrayal by Wang Ming, that montum was halted significantly.

A rank three talent without backing might not necessarily be considered a future elder. After all, breaking through to the next realm was never guaranteed. But a rank three talent with the support of a strong background gained an undeniable edge one that greatly increased the chances of future breakthroughs.

Previously, Wang Ming's talent was only seen as potential. Even with the support of the Clan Leader, he was treated no better than a well-trained dog raised for the sole purpose of suppressing the younger generation from the First Elder's faction.

Now, things had completely changed.

With his engagent to the daughter of an elder, and the marriage already fixed, Wang Ming had transitioned from being an outsider to being considered true family. The level of resources and support now available to him were beyond anything he could have imagined under the Clan Leader's wing.

This shift in allegiance brought a major disruption to the clan's internal political scene. The First Elder's faction had struck two targets with one arrow.

First, they broke the long-standing stereotype that their faction favored bloodline over talent. Second, they dealt a heavy blow to the Clan Leader's dominance. In fact, several elders who had previously supported the Clan Leader now started moving closer to the First Elder.

This shift caused the balance of power within the clan to tilt.

The original stalemate of seven versus seven among the top factions was broken.

With three rank three talents erging within the First Elder's faction combined with the open support of the Supre Elder,the First Elder had gained a montum in his conflict with the Clan Leader that he had never possessed before.
